UNIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Position unit(s) in proposed installation location assuring level footings and clearances. Install bypass valves on units, and check that control heads are secured on tanks and brine valve connections are tight. On air injected iron filters it is advised that the internal transport screen be removed prior to installation. Plumb Inlet, outlet as designated on unit, and drains in accordance to local codes. Teflon thread tape or approved pipe dope should be used on drain connections. Threads on inlet and outlet unions should be left clean. heaters. Filter softeners. units most often proceed

Drains should discharge at or above floor level not to exceed 10 feet (3m) above the discharge connection. All drain connections should comply with local codes and proper methods for cross connection and backflow prevention.

CAUTION: Never connect drain lines directly to any waste drain without an approved air gap. When drains discharge below floor level a proper vacuum break should be used above the floor level It is recommended that the safety drain located on the side of the brine be connected with a 112 inch hose, to a drain a minimum of 1 foot below the connection. The line should not be allowed to rise above the connection to the tank at any point.

IMPORTANT: Do not solder to inlet and outlet pigtails while they are connected to control heads. Permanent damage to seal surfaces or unit nuts may result voiding your warranty. On typical installations, units are installed after water meters on municipal supplies and after pumps and pressure reservoirs on rural supplies. They usually proceed the domestic water

CAUTION: Do not connect this drain to the unit drain. Flooding may result.

START-UP PROCEDURE
Move all bypass valves to the bypass position. Close all outlets in the water system to prepare for pressure test. Allow a small amount of water to run into system and listen for any leaks. Repair any leaks at this point. Fully pressurise system and inspect for leaks again. Effect repairs were required. Run water at an outlet that has no obstructions or strainer to remove any foreign matter left from the installation. .Proceed with the following steps for each unit: Apply power to control and move to the backwash (cycle #1). Slowly move the bypass toward the service position until water begins to fill the unit. When water begins to flow from the drain line the bypass can be moved completely into the service position. The backwash should be allowed to run for the entire cycle time to clear the unit. 15 On softeners the brine cycle should be checked for proper vacuum by placing enough water in the tank to cover the top of the brine platform in the bottom of the tank. Initiate a brine cycle and note the time it takes to draw 1 inch of water. This time should not exceed 6 minutes. On softeners check that water is being sent back to the brine tank for brine refillWhen all units have been commissioned do a final leak check.

INSTALLATION
Minimum Site Requirements For Proper Operation: .Supply Water Pressure: 20 psi (140 KPa) min.l120 psi max. .Supply Water Temperature: 120 oF (48C) max. Prevent from freezing! .Supply Water Flow Rate: See flow rate table .Electrical Supply: 120 V. A. C. (:!:10%.) 60 Hz. 0.6 A. continuous power

Existing Plumbing: .Plumbing that has been exposed to source water contaminants may be responsible for down stream recontamination of the treated water.

Waste Drain:

.An approved drain must be available for waste water disposal capable of handling the requirements on the unit.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST

At Your Shop: .Open and inspect unit(s) for damage and necessary fittings. .Report damage to your carrier within 48 hours. .Report shortages to manufacturer immediately.

At The Site .Identify all plumbing connections, electrical outlets, and drain connections that will be involved in the installation and determine their suitability.

NOTE: Individual drain runs are considered more acceptable than teeing lines together. .Confirm that electrical supply is continuous and not connected to sources of electrical noise such as large inductive loads, radio transmitters etc. .Check the proposed flow path of water from the safety overflows on brine tanks and potassium tanks to assure that acceptable damage will occur in the event of an overflow. Relocation or re-routing may be necessary. .Make certain that plumbing, electrical, and drain lines are and will not interfere with the operation and access to existing structures such as switches, breaker panels, water valves, doorways, etc. .Allow 10-15 feet (3-5 m) of non insulated pipe between softener outlet and water heater inlet. If this is not possible installation of a check valve is recommended
